Fire detection

Fire detection systems for ships

TTT has experience with fire alarm systems since 1999. She started with the fire detection systems from Servoteknikk and then gained experience with Consilium systems and Eltek Fire & Safety systems. Not only existing platforms, but also older systems, delivered in the 80s, 90s and 00s, are maintained worldwide by TTT. You can also turn to TTT for the supply of spare parts for all new and previous fire detection systems:

• Control panels
• Gas detectors
• Heat detectors
• Other detectos and parts
• Smoke detectors

Addressable or conventional fire alarm for ships

The two most common types of fire detection systems are addressable and conventional systems. A conventional system consists of various detection loops, with one or more detectors per loop. With a conventional system, the control panel determines whether and if so in which loop there is an alarm. Locating an alarm cause is therefore done per loop: the more detectors in the loop and the longer the loop is physical, the more inaccurate the determination of the location that gave rise to the alarm. In practice, the detection loops are often placed in specific parts of the ship and per deck, making the detection of an alarm easier. Conventional systems are therefore especially suitable for smaller ships.

In contrast to a conventional fire alarm system, an addressable system distinguishes between alarms from each individual detector. Addressable detectors also often have built-in intelligence and they send status information to the exchange very frequently. Nowadays, the so-called addresses of each detector can also be determined centrally. Each detector is thus assigned to a specific room or part of a room, so that in the event of an alarm it is immediately clear where the alarm originated. With an addressable system, building up in loops is also no longer necessary, which means that all detectors can be connected with just a few cables.

Advantages of addressable fire alarm:
• Accurate determination of the location where the alarm was triggered
• Savings in cable meters to be used
• Simple configuration: detectors centrally provided / change of address
• Continuous central monitoring status of the detectors
• Possible connection to general alarm system and mimic panel (visualization alarm per room)

Service on older fire alarm platforms

TTT provides weekly service on board ships with regard to the fire alarm system or the gas detection system. In addition to service to Consilium's current CCP platform, TTT also regularly provides service to older fire alarms or gas detection systems. Over the past decades, Consilium has taken over the activities of the Servoteknikk and Eltek Fire & Safety brands, among other things.
TTT provides service and maintenance for the following platforms, among others Consilium
Salwico CCP
Salwico CS4000
Salwico CS3000

Eltek Fire & Safety
Delta OP Marine
Delta Compact
IQ8Quad technology

Servo nod ServoFighter C4
ServoMaster
BMS 904

Fire alarm and gas detection

Fire alarm systems are in some cases expanded with specific gas detection sensors. In this way smoke, heat or flame development can be established as well as the increase in the concentration of a certain gas. In addition to individual detectors, Consilium also supplies complete Gas Detection Systems. Consilium basically offers two types of gas detection systems: sampling systems and point detection systems. Gas detection occurs on board oil tankers, offshore ships, specialized vessels and LNG powered ships, among others.
